After visiting here, the things that everyone bought were different, and it was not suitable for everyone to be together, so they separated. Xu Ping had nothing to buy, so he stayed to chat with Wang Su.

After asking, I realized that Wang Su had not been very happy after the New Year. Originally, Kong Daoxu recommended him to Beijing to want to enter the Censorate, but before the matter was completed, Kong Daoxu was demoted from the capital, and Wang Su was left here. He had been idle in the capital until a few days ago, and he was recommended by Wang Zeng. He tried it in the Bachelor's Academy and was changed to the Pavilion for proofreading.

This is a free official, but you can't take it easy. The unemployment of the museum is the time to accumulate energy for future promotions.

After nothing happened, Wang Su asked the servant to take the things he bought and talked to Xu Ping while wandering around.

After walking around the first floor for a while, Wang Su bought a few more goods and asked Xu Ping: "I heard that there are specialties sold in this shop. I wonder if there are any geckos from Yongzhou? A few days ago, Shi Manqing sent some from Liangzhou. My father-in-law was very useful to use them. Due to the small amount, I bought some and sent them today."

Xu Ping hurriedly said: "Yes, of course there are. I'll take you to see."

Shi Yannian became the governor of Liangzhou. He was in a good time and continued to expand outward. He made some contributions and was recently promoted. His official position has risen, and his status among relatives has naturally increased, and his relationship with the Wang family became close. As an official in Lingnan, he could not bring his family, so his wife naturally relied on her family to take care of her in the capital. Some of the rare things Shi Yannian sent back from Liangzhou were also inevitably sent to the Wang family.

Wang Su first married the daughter of the Minister of Rites Li Wei. He died early and then married the daughter of Teng She, who died again. Now he married the daughter of Privy Councilor Zhang Shixun. The marriage relationship between these great families is complicated and unclear.

What we should mention is the relatives involved in Wang Su's second wife Teng's family. One is Ji Ying, and his mother's surname is Teng. This is where Wang Su and Zhang Fangping are related. The two families are considered relatives. The other is Teng Zijing, who is the Teng family. Teng Zijing and Fan Zhongyan are friends of the same year. Wang Su's brother Wang Zhi and Fan Zhongyan are married to Fan Zhongyan. Wang Su and Fan Zhongyan have relatives and friends in multiple directions, and these relationships are useful.

Of course, the father-in-law Wang Su is now talking about is naturally Zhang Shixun, and Geckos are also going to be sent to his house.

Officials have different political views. They are red from the court and have a fight in the court. Their private relatives are not affected. Xu Ping will not have any estrangement with Wang Su just because Zhang Shixun had a few awkward quarrels with him.

After leaving the pavilion and going around the side of the local specialties, Xu Ping smiled and said, "Everyone is not here, but he doesn't know that there are all kinds of rare things here! The three treasurers have accumulated countless specialty supplies from all over the country. If you want to buy them, you don't know where to find these things! Today, I cleared all the places and concentrated all the rare and precious things here. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

Wang Su smiled slightly: "Yunxing should publicly tell you such a good thing, otherwise who knows?"

"So why? These things are the least worried about selling. I just worry about not enough goods. What I can buy is luck."

The two of them said, looking along the various platforms.

The tables here are much more exquisite than those selling farm tools. They are all equipped with sheds to shelter from the wind and rain, and many of them are also covered with silk cloth. The reason why specialties are placed outside is not because they are not worth it, but because some specialties have special smells, which will cause the air to be dirty indoors, and there is no such concern outside.

Xu Ping said: "It's roughly the same. Of course, you have to spend some time, but you have basic things. With the Jianghuai Shipping Department, the grain rice transported from the Bian River to the capital every year is millions of stones. The price of grain in the capital cannot rise, and there is no big profit in farming. However, with these farm tools, the capital will go down and farming will be profitable."

Xu Ping naturally knew what Wang Su meant, and he was trying to learn from Xu Ping's farm. Because there had been a large amount of grain input from other places and the freight was paid by the court, the grain prices of the two capitals were crushed to death, so there was a lot of idle land on Kaifeng Prefecture and Jingxi Road, and no matter what method was needed, they could not be reclaimed. With new agricultural tools, labor costs would be reduced, and it would be profitable to grow real estate and produce grain in the farm.
